Day 8-A Place I’ve Traveled To

I've traveled to many states but the only place out of the country that I have traveled to is Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. My husband and I went for our honeymoon back in 2008. It was amazing! We were on a budget and couldn't decide where to go. Our choices were different places in Mexico, Puerto Rico, or Hawaii. We decided on Mexico because it looked so beautiful and it was CHEAP. We spent around $2400 for a week in the Dre.ams Resort. It was all-inclusive meaning we could eat and drink as much as we wanted to. There was the beautiful beach right up on the resort's swimming pools and even a swim-up bar. I have to admit it was a little scary outside of the resort's gates. We did venture to the flea market to buy gifts and it was definitely a different culture. I'm glad that I speak Spanish so I was able to communicate with the sellers and find the best deals on gifts! I loved our honeymoon! I hope that we get to travel more in the future! Boo! I can't find any of my honeymoon pictures on the computer!

About Me

I’m Josh and this was my wife, Jessica’s, blog. I stole it. I’m 28 years old, I am a son, brother, & father. I have struggled fought with my weight for literally as long as I can remember. I have always been over weight. I have tried losing weight before, maybe 20 times, but failed each time. Jessica and I have tried to lose weight before and we failed. I have 3 daughters- an 11 (going on 15) year old and twin 2 and half year olds- and I want to show them, WE want to show them, it’s okay to try and fail, but you pick up the pieces and try again- until you win, until you reach your goals.
We started our journey towards weight loss and being healthy on January 2nd. It’s the middle of May. I’ve lost 49 lbs, Jessica has lost 35 lbs. We are still actively trying to lose weight and be healthy, we both want to lose more and gain strength. So far, our journey has been both rough and amazing.
I hope my story, OUR story, will inspire others.
